Mobile Suit Gundam: New Side Stories 2025
Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuuX
First of all, we have to mention Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, a completely new anime project, independent of the previous Gundam timelines. The opening theatrical film, GQuuuuuuX – Beginning, premiered in early 2025, right before the 12-episode TV series aired from April to June 2025. What's special is that this project is produced by Sunrise in collaboration with Studio Khara, with the participation of famous names such as director Kazuya Tsurumaki and screenwriter Hideaki Anno (Evangelion). The story revolves around a female student who is suddenly caught up in dramatic battles between mobile suits – a setting that is both strange and evokes many emotions.
Gundam: The Witch from Mercury – Youth Frontier
Fans are also excited about Gundam: The Witch from Mercury – Youth Frontier, a spin-off manga that will be released in Spring 2025. Interestingly, instead of space, this spin-off takes Suletta and Miorine to a more mundane setting: a high school student environment in modern Japan. This is a bold choice, allowing readers to see two familiar characters in a new, more relatable and sympathetic space.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Urdr-Hunt – Path of the Little Challenger
It is impossible not to mention Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Urdr-Hunt – Path of the Little Challenger, a film that combines the web-series on the mobile application. The film is scheduled to be released in Japanese theaters at the end of October 2025, marking the 10th anniversary of the Iron-Blooded Orphans series. Along with that, there is a new short film called Makuai no Kusabi, which expands many details on the already beloved story from Iron-Blooded Orphans.
It can be seen that Mobile Suit Gundam is constantly expanding its universe with many new side stories, ranging from space, everyday life to emotional battles, bringing many interesting choices for fans.

Personalized perspective in the Gundam world
Watching Gundam is not just about “watching robots fight”, but also about living with the pain, hope and growth of the characters. The new side stories have more clearly portrayed the internal conflicts that made the series like Iron-Blooded Orphans or The Witch from Mercury so popular. If the original Mobile Suit Gundam laid the foundation, the new series takes the concept of Mobile Suit to new heights in technology and setting.
Compared to the previous spin-offs, this one seems to have a bigger ambition: not only filling in the plot gaps but also opening a new direction for the entire Gundam universe.
